The Wire, Season 2: Disc 5
2002-2008. Created and largely written by David Simon (Homicide: Life on the Street, Treme), starring Dominic West (300)
I watched the first season of The Wire several years ago and have been meaning to complete the rest of the epic Baltimore-based series ever since. Simon had a previous life as a Baltimore Sun crime-beat reporter, and it shows in the series’ uncompromising realism.
I would argue that The Wire is the great American TV show. It is more of a novel than a TV show, which may be why I love it so much.
I am currently debating between a re-watching of The Sopranos and starting the never-before-seen Deadwood. So many choices…
Ooooh. That’s a nice comparison…Wire as novel. I gotta get started on season 2 soon.
